Hacker News Reader

Probably because it was dead, and yesterday or so Maciej put it up again (but read-only), so it's kind of undead now.

This is one of the things I sometimes dislike from this site when it happens. It's not so difficult to explain what the link is about even if I personally know what del.icio.us is/was about. More so while the webpage is down since it's been in the frontpage.

yes, kinda lame to post either before there's any news/blog about it or without a clearer ask about it's status

That being said for anyone keeping up on these things there was an update over the course of last year that said it would be back (it was offline/there was no login page for years) so this appears to be new.
